Masala Chai Evening with Chef Kiran – A Virtual Spice & Sip Gathering

A warm and cozy virtual gathering centered around something timeless: chai. This online session, led by Chef Kiran, brought together tea lovers for an intimate look at the art of brewing authentic masala chai. Even through a screen, the experience felt communal—steeped in tradition, comfort, and shared enthusiasm.

The cloudy, rainy day set the perfect backdrop as attendees watched, sipped, and chimed in with questions. Every household prepares chai differently, and the seminar highlighted just how personal and expressive this simple beverage can be. It was nostalgic, soothing, and surprisingly connective—an experience that bridged distance and brought familiar faces together.

Highlights

• Guided masala chai demonstration by Chef Kiran

• Interactive Q&A and shared traditions

• Cozy, intimate virtual atmosphere

• A moment of community during an otherwise quiet season

Review

Sara I. (May 31, 2020): 

“This was a cute and informative Zoom session. Chai runs in my blood, y’all—I just sat back and watched. It was fun interacting virtually with everyone and seeing the enthusiasm to learn something new.

It was a rainy, cloudy day, and truly the best cure is a cup of chai… it just hugs the soul. Everyone prepares it differently, which made hearing others’ questions and techniques even more enjoyable. This session made me miss everyone, but in the best way.

The spice must flow. Keep calm and carry the biscuits. Looking forward to more gatherings like this.”
